The construction involves the addition of asphalt to multi-use trails and increased accessibility through parking lots, concrete sidewalks and driveway improvements.

The park is also planned to have new stone seat walls, lights, improved drains and planted trees.

There is also construction underway on the east side of Concession Street between Upper Gage and Oakcrest Streets which include a new walking path along Mountain Brow.
